Silver-Point vs. Silver-Shaded British Shorthair: What’s the Difference
Silver-point and silver-shaded British Shorthairs both belong to the shaded color family, but the silver point is a pointed variant with much lighter hair tips and blue eyes. The fastest way to tell them apart is eye color — blue means silver point, while green or yellow-green means silver shaded — and the silver point also carries a noticeably paler coat.
Is this the right coat on a silver-shaded (British Shorthair) cat’s back?
From the photo this is not a silver-shaded coat; the pure silver-shaded's hallmark is the 'tipped' fur-white base with black tips on the back, head, tail, and outer legs-giving an even silver-white gradient. Overall shade varies with how much black is in the tips.
Silver-shaded fold cat: father silver-shaded (straight ears), mother fold-eared. The cat is 3 months old. I heard fold cats have a 100% chance of disease, only a matter of time. So I’d like to ask about the onset probability for a 3-month silver-shaded fold cat and whether it’s truly 100%. Thank you.
Fold-cat bone disease is genetic and very likely, especially from poor breeding, but '100% and only a matter of time' is unscientific - some never show. Manage pain and see a vet if symptoms appear.
Silver Mosaic Chinchilla
Some Silver Mosaic Chinchillas give the illusion of being all gray, but on close look their underfur is white; most can be told apart. The Silver Mosaic Chinchilla's scientific name is South American chinchilla, and because its appearance resembles the cartoon chinchilla in Hayao Miyazaki's film 'My Neighbor Totoro,' Hong Kong people renamed it 'Silver Mosaic Chinchilla.'
Silver Arowana: Morphology and Breeding Methods
The silver arowana is all silver, peaceful and easy to keep, but grows fast and can exceed 1 m, so it needs a spacious tank. It is a mouth-brooder: choose one healthy male (6–8 yrs, 50–60 cm) and one female (7–9 yrs, 40–50 cm), keep the tank absolutely quiet during spawning, and the male will carry 40–50 fertilized eggs in his mouth for about two months.
How is the Golden Shaded British Shorthair bred?
The Golden Shaded (golden chinchilla) originated from a mutation of the Silver Shaded, which itself comes from crossing the British Blue with the Chinchilla Persian. To breed Golden Shadeds, use two Golden Shadeds or one Golden and one Silver. Though a rare color, their temperament and stocky build are the same as other British Shorthairs, so there is no need to chase this coat color.
How is the golden-shaded British Shorthair produced?
The golden shade arose from a silver-shaded mutation; silver-shaded came from breeding blue British Shorthairs with Chinchillas. Breed two goldens, or a golden and a silver. Golden British Shorthairs share the breed's sturdy build and temperament.
How is the golden shaded (Golden British Shorthair) cat bred?
The Golden Shaded arose from British Shorthair blue x Chinchilla crosses; a recessive gene turned some silver coats golden. Today two Goldens or a Golden and Silver are mated. They are bold, curious and round-faced.
What colors do Chinchilla cats come in?
Chinchilla cats come mainly in four colors: silver, golden, silver shaded, and golden shaded. Silver has a white undercoat with an overall silver-white look, while silver shaded is slightly darker, appearing silver-gray. Golden has a cream undercoat and a golden overall tone.
How old is this cat, and what breed is it?
From the photo's coat and looks, the cat is likely a mix of British Shorthair silver shaded and Chinese rural cat—a crossbreed; the exact breed needs the parents and genes, hard to judge from faint traits. Age is judged by teeth; from size it is about 3–4 months.
